NASCAR fans rejoice , the wing is going away!!

@ C: Since Indy & F1 use faster cars, also plastered with sponsor decals, I have to disagree, it's the world's 3rd fastest commercial.

You haven't watched an indycar race recently have you?

Simple. It would die, very quickly.

Or would it become pure again ?

Pre WWII style.

It cost way to much money to field a Cup car without sponsers. Racing would continue, but nowhere on the scale that it is now.

It could go back to what it was when us old-timers loved it..

STOCK  car racing.. 

Aside from from some intake/exhuast modifications, and race-sturdy transmissions and rear-ends..  they were pretty much the same car you could go buy on Monday (there's a slogan in there somewhere), with massive roll-cages installed.

Now (or last time I checked), a Ford could be exactly the same chassis as a Chevy, underneath a not-so-stock sheet-metal shell.

Of course, this would mean going to front wheel drive, V-6 cars..But if you get away from these ridiculously expensive motors, and computer/wind-tunnel designed bodies.. you could make it so that grass-root teams could be competetive.. and sponsors wouldn't have to invest millions to field a few cars..
